Sabbath school much revived, under the special efforts of several white brethren and sisters.

Present number of Sunday scholars, 50.
This year was a joyful one to me--my little church increasing, and the Sabbath school flourishing, under the superintendence of the late truly excellent brother James C.Crane, though he was with us but for a short season.

My wife and little ones were also with me, both in the church and Sabbath school.

I was a happy man, and felt more than ever inclined to give thanks to God, and serve Him to the best of my ability.
My salary was only three hundred dollars a year; but with hard exertion and close economy, together with my wife's taking in washing and going out at day's work, we were enabled by the first of the year, to pay the two hundred dollars our dear friend had loaned us, in raising the six hundred dollars before spoken of.

But the bond for three hundred dollars was now due, and how must this be met?
I studied out a plan; which was to get some gentleman who might want a little servant girl, to take my child, and advance me three hundred dollars for the purpose of paying my note, which was now due in Virginia.
